Privately printed in 1893 in the original maroon cloth decorated with black and gilt (the second binding variant). 18 pages with 2 tinted autotype plates. Hinges are cracked with some scuffing on the binding. Written by Ed. Frossard based on the collection of 1794 cents formed by W. W. Hays with 56 varieties described using Hays variety numbers. Only 250 copies were produced and today a perfect copy is virtually unobtainable. This was the primary work on the cents of 1794 until Dr. Sheldon's EARLY AMERICAN CENTS was published. An historic reference for 1794 cents.
